Hey! I think the main issue would be the vegetable oils used in the cooking, the herbs used aren’t a concern. If you go to the fats note, you’ll see a section on the omega-6: omega-3 ratio when we eat a lot of vegetable oils (the type restaurants use bc it is cheap), it makes our ratio very off balanced which leads to inflammation which is a marker for many health complications. So, to summarize, yes, it is fine in moderation but if we overdo it, it can lead to a high omega-6: omega-3 ratio!
